Control Systems

Our Searchlight platforms can be controlled in a way that fits your daily operations. Below is a list of the main options available today. If any question just come back to us.

Standard

As standard all our searchlights comes together with a remote control panel, the OP. The control panel is as standard equipped with a progressive joystick for the positioning of the light as well as a control display for settings and configurations. The display also has a graphical presentation as well as numeric values where you aim the light for the moment. You can add optional control programs for the OP – automatic sweeping, fixed position, surveillance mode or even a synchronized control mode. The synchronization mode is used in a network setup and enables the possibility to have more than one unit following a master searchlight.

Network

A network setup makes sense in case you have more than one searchlight or more than one control panel to your searchlight onboard. Our control network is based in Ethernet standard. Just add an Ethernet switch and connect all electronic control boxes and operator panel to it – the system will automatically detect and recognize all items. You can easily name the searchlights to STB, PS or any other logic. The synchronization control make a lot of sense in case of network setup – with this optional control program you can control all your lights in a synchronized mode from one single OP. Increase the light intensity and range as well as simplify the operation on the bridge. Up to 16 units in the same network is possible.

Wireless

In case you need to be mobile on deck or on any other remote location our wireless radio control might come in handy. The dimensioning of the radio antenna and the position of it makes long distance control without cabling easier. The small and easy to carry handcontrol has the most basic control functions.

Integrated control

Full integration to your own system – ECDIS, CMS, Protection Shield, Anti Piracy, VTS or One Man Bridge solutions –. We provide you with our Interface Description how to give the correct commandos for control. A solution like this makes it possible for more advanced slew to cue, target tracking and other ideas you might have.

Overview

overview:

CLIR - thermal imaging

We are not the first in the market to add a thermal imager to a searchlight platform - but we dare to say that the solution that had world premiere at NORSHIPPING 2013 is the most robust and good looking one. The module can be integrated on any of our searchlight models - CL20, CL25 and CL35. It is not available for retrofitting.

Modern vessels have today cameras for different purposes, mainly to increase efficiency and safety onboard but of course for many other special purposes. For marine vessels there are combinations of fixed mounted and movable units (pan&tilt). The market in general offers everything from very low end up to very high end advanced systems.

The basic idea with the solution from ColorLight is to use the existing platform for light onboard to also carry a camera - to increase the utilization of the equipment but also to save space on the bridge roof and the bridge itself. In the end it will of course also reduce the total cost of ownership. The camera is placed in the center of the unit which make it possible to carry both visible light, invisible UV-light and a camera together in the same unit. The control of the camera is integrated in the exisiting operator panel and is easliy accessable when operating in CAM-mode. You can easily control and operate the lights AND the camera individually at the same time due to the control system setup.

Working through the design concept with an industrial designer from the Swedish engineering company SEMCON we used the existing expressions from our searchlight platform - functionality, robustness, marine look, friendly, professional and based on these we set the key expression for the new CLIR to be:

- Not aggressive and threatening BUT active seeking

- Not protruding and vounerable BUT compact and powerful

We believe we have been very successful meeting these expressions. We think you will agree with us.

The technical platform, also developed together with SEMCON, has a thermal imager from the most well known commercial brand in the market, the mechanical construction is mainly built with standard components and the control is integrated into the existing electrical and software platforms. The imager is very well protected inside a housing made of acid proof stainless steel and the outlook window is made of a material that is transparent to the infrared radiation.

ColorLight sets a new standard for enhanced visibility at sea - The Future Searchlight Solution - a Searchlight but also much more.

Oil Spill Recovery/Detection with UV light

General brief overview of systems for oil spill detection

There are different systems onboard that has different purpose during oil spill operations. To get an overview of a situation an OIL SPILL RADAR system is commonly used. This system can show the total area and moving directions of the oil spill. The radar information is normally integrated with other information giving systems – wind directions, waves and currents for example.

For identification and estimation of the total quantity of the spill the area information by the radar can be combined with OPTICAL and INFRARED CAMERA information that can estimate the thickness in different segments of the spill.

As a complement to the above systems UV-LIGHT is used for short distance detection and presentation during the actual collection of the oil spill, this to physically visualize the oil spill for the operational staff on the vessel or on land during day and night time to simplify the work and reduce the impact on nature.

UV-LIGHT – how does it work?

Different types of oil contain different combinations of minerals that are fluorescent. Fluorescence is a physical reaction trigged by either chemicals or by electromagnetic radiation. The trigger releases absorbed light energy (the photons) in the substance material and it starts to glow. Can be likened with giving an electrical current to a light bulb or diod – it starts to glow when giving energy to it.

The phenomena that happens when addressing UV-light to oil is, depending on type of oil, that due to the fluorescence, the oil change color. The color is by human eye percepted as white almost like milk in color. Secondly the short radiation wavelength of UV-light is not reflected by water so when addressing the light on water with oil, the oil spill will be visible as a white film on the water. At daytime the natural UV-light from the sun make oil or petrol on sea surface shimmer which is exactly the same process.

UV-LIGHT by ColorLight

One important key for a platform carrying UV-light is the combination of UV-radiation in a certian wavelenght and the possibility to address the light both far away from the vessel and more important very close to the hull – this to be a support to the operational crew working with the actual oil spill. Depending on the type of vessel and the main purpose there are some different solutions in terms of power. Some examples:

Smaller harbor or river pollution vessels. Very suitable with a smaller combination version CLUV25-12 with normal white light for search and rescue and a UV-light for oil spill.

Offshore oil spill response vessels operating around Oil Platforms or standby salvation vessels for potential environmental disasters will most likely need more powerful systems either combination with white light likeCLUV35-12 or even CLUV35-22 for the extreme UV-power.
